Has anyone heard of imOnline?

imOnline seems to have a slick website (www.imonlinegroup.com/), though there seems to be very little information about them. They promise the world, which makes me a bit wary. Does anyone have any news? Perhaps a review in the Directory section one day?

Thanks for the info. The prices don't surprise me much, their clients look like medium to large scale online retailers who would want bespoke development and consulting.

Their "marketplaces" (eBay/Amazon etc.) service looks targeted more to existing retailers wanting to expand (often to liquidate stock), rather than those who start out on those venues. They are quite different markets, and there isn't a great deal of crossover in suppliers.

It's a sound (if risky) business model, but its hard for the up and comer. The choices one has become quite constrained if you're growing and want to list on multiple ebay and Amzaon channels (.de, .com, etc). I was considering Linnworks since Channel Advisor are a bit pricey, fortunately I have a web designer. Vendio would be good, but they only support the US market places.

Yes, it's tough to find a supplier that meets every requirement at a good price. It might help to break down what you want into realistic must-haves and nice-to-haves to give you a better chance of finding a fit.

Thanks for your help! Very kind of you. The problem is knowing the real capabilities and professionalism of the service providers. The user reviews help a great deal, but the expectations of some users can also be a bit unrealistic which may skewer their reviews and professional reviews are hard to come by. So, its all a bit hit-and-miss. Vendio seems good for now, though you must have a web designer for it to be useful, also, it doesn't offer support for international marketplace sites. So the search continues...

Thanks for the feedback- eBay.com and .de are high on our development roadmap, but we do not have ETA for these just yet. We'll make sure to announce on ASR when complete.All the best in the meantime.RegardsBrendan
